It's official... and here's why: "The Revolution's ability to downlaod and play titles from gaming's past has gotten many gamers excited about Nitendo's upcoming platform and its "virtual console" capabilities. At this year's Game Developer's Conference, the company finally announced a partnership detailing what kind of games we can expect to appear on the system. Once rivals back in the 16-bit days of the Super Nintendo and Genesis, Sega and Nintendo are now teaming up to deliver content for the Revolution. The system will be able to play selected titles from the Sega Genesis' back catalog of 1,000 titles. Also announced was a partnership between Nintendo and Hudson to bring games from NEC's TurboGrafx-16 platform to the Revolution. No specific titles were announced from either company, but between the Genesis, TurboGrafx-16, and the Super NES, the Revolution should sport a who's who of 16-bit classic gaming. In a statement released concurrent with his GDC speech, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata also intimataed that downloadable games similar to those offered on Xbox Live Arcade for the Xbox 360 might be in store for the Revolution: 'New forms of innovative software that can be created by any size developer will be made available for download via Revolution's Virtual Console sevice' " -Game Informer Issue 157 page 19

(Dubbmatic is my come and go account, as for this one, I want it to remain inactive, it symbolizes my solidified stay at Sonic Blast. To use it now puts it to shame) UPDATE: I have returned my name back to it's original form that most of you had come to know me by. It seemed more fitting. Good bye to any and all!

I'm sure this wouldn't sway your decision, but Sonic the hedgehog isn't coming to the revolution.
